NFL - PI now challengable

[clonehenge]

Coaches can now challenge offensive and defensive pass interference as well as no calls.

Man, this is just going to be bad.

The NFL really knows how to ruin a good thing and cry baby Sean Payton gets his way.

 

[Cyched]

Oh good, I was just thinking games needed to be longer.

 

[awd4cy]

All sports are being ruined by video review. This is just ridiculous.

 

[GT25Ump]

Oh my gawd, start games at 11am CST to get the late shift started by 3:45pm CST, ugh.

 

[CyArob]

Not as bad as college yet

 

[mynameisjonas]

Not a good change.

 

[CYCLNST8]

Might as well challenge holding and false starts while we're at it.

As someone who enjoys watching the NFL continuously trip over their own feet, I cannot WAIT to watch this mess unfold

The number of challenges available to coaches doesn't change. They still only get two, with a third if they win the first two. So I'm not really getting the longer game complaints. It's not like coaches will be able to throw a challenge flag just to fish for a PI call.

I do think they might have been better off trying this out in the preseason only just to get a feel for it, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad rule change. We'll find out.

JFC install of crying and sulking about a bad call why not just put that energy into all the other ****** plays your team ran during that game that could have changed the outcome.

I think it's just the fact that it gives them one more thing to challenge which opens up the opportunity to reach their challenge limit.

Not to mention PI calls are usually crucial calls in a game (especially the NFL because they're spot fouls) and I'm willing to bet they get challenged more than anything else.

That’s exactly the reason they should be challengable. They are game-changing calls.

Holy hell if they allow everyone to challenge from their couch...

 

[coolerifyoudid]

This is a stupid rule until it works in my team's favor. Then it's awesome.

A challenge is crying and sulking?

No it was Sean Payton's crying and sulking that led to this.....he should be the last one to complain about anything as he was at the helm during bounty gate.

Hey how about refs warning players that they are lined up offsides. Just asking for a friend who is a Chiefs fan.

 

[BuffettClone]

I can see most hail mary attempts at end of half/game situations challenged with this rule. There is almost always PI on those.

Last 2 minutes is still booth review only.
